08055C273K4T4A

The AVX 08055C273K4T4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications across industrial, consumer, and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern PCB design. The compact form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining reliable performance in high-volume manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for signal coupling, decoupling, filtering, and bypassing functions throughout electronic circuits. The 08055C series represents a standard performance class suitable for mainstream applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are primary considerations. These capacitors are commonly found in power supply circuits, audio equipment, RF modules, industrial control systems, medical devices, and telecommunications infrastructure. The designation "273K" within the part number indicates the capacitance value and voltage rating combination typical of this series. The "4T4A" suffix refers to specific manufacturing specifications and termination characteristics established by AVX's product standards. Engineers working with this part number can expect consistent electrical behavior across production batches, which is essential for repeatability in manufacturing environments and field reliability. One key reason engineers specify this exact part number rather than exploring alternatives relates to supply chain continuity and proven field performance. The 0805 package size balances practical handling requirements with modern assembly processes, avoiding the difficulties sometimes encountered with either larger or extremely small packages. AVX's established reputation for MLCC manufacturing and consistent quality makes this a dependable choice for applications where component failure could impact system performance or operational costs. This capacitor is particularly suitable for industrial applications requiring robust, temperature-stable performance over extended operational lifespans. The ceramic dielectric construction provides good frequency response characteristics across a wide range, making the part useful in both DC-biased circuits and AC signal paths. In power delivery networks, these capacitors work alongside their larger counterparts to suppress high-frequency noise. In filtering applications, multiple capacitors of this type are often used in parallel arrays to achieve cumulative capacitance and improved ESR characteristics. For engineers designing with this part, consideration of circuit operating temperature, applied voltage margins, and AC ripple current specifications will ensure optimal performance and longevity. The standardized 0805 footprint ensures compatibility with virtually all modern manufacturing equipment and assembly processes, reducing design complexity and manufacturing risk.
